Emotion Detection System Using Image Processing Techniques: A Case Study

Abstract

When we investigate the last 10 years from a technological point of view, one thing becomes very apparent; technology has infiltrated all parts of human lives in every way imaginable to us, the number of devices in a person's home exceed the number of people itself, the time has come we can no longer ignore the presence of such devices since they hold immense computational power. In this project we want to bring about a very frequently discussed topic of automatically being able to detect human emotions. The project is developed as an android application. The proposed system is being developed using latest technologies such as OpenCV, Haar features, Android Studio, the project aims at face detection as well as emotion detection efficiently, quickly and in minimum amount of steps. The project can detect a wide range of emotions and the unique feature would be that it can detect the person’s level and percentage of different emotions he/she is experiencing.
